Hi Rowan,
Thank you for your e-mail.
I'm surprised that it can ever be as complicated
as needing that - the
way I understood it, the cookie can only possibly be stored for
'en.wikipedia.org', '.wikipedia.org', or 'wikipedia.org'.
That's not
really many options to try, and, as I say, as far as I can make out
it's the very first one.
Perhaps these domains can be listed on the page with the cookie error
please. At least as suggestions for starting point to try and resolve
the situation...
Don't get me wrong, I agree that *something*
failed to give you the
information you needed, but in this case I think it was Mozilla's
cookie system doing too much automatically, and not giving you a
decent UI to undo it.
I think Mozilla did now me it, but I did not click "Details" to see the
hostname. I get cookie requests all the time, I wish to avoid being
someones advertisement profile, so I deny all for which I do not think I
need. Very few sites have errors this way. Although in this instance
Wikipedia website did complain. So then I had the problem of trying to
find which host the cookie came from,
www.wikipedia.org no.. etc etc..
I have removed the block now, and the
wikipedia.org site works ok with
the cookie.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards
JG
